Hello all, if you've read the AN I left then you know this story is being revised. If you didn't get a chance to catch it, this is what was said "An: This isn't a chapter which I am deeply sorry about. I will be revising this story. I feel I can do better with this story and I want to create it the way I've envisioned. Thank you for those who have read what I've had and if you are still interested please stay in tune. I will not delete this story so it will be up in my stories tab, the summary may change but check back here once again to see the new improved version by tomorrow. Thank you all" The summary nor title has changed. I'm trying to incorporate more moments between Angel Bella and the whole gang. I will not give up on this. I know Angel has long since gone off but that's what is for. Ok now, on to the story.
Chapter 1: L.A.
The woman knocked back the shot with no more than a gulp and a gasp. Good ol' Jack was strong. She was nothing to look at really. Her long brown hair was pulled into a high ponytail, a short sleeved black shirt clung to her body and some old pair of jeans thrown with her trusty pair of converses. She was pale as snow and stuck out like a sore thumb. Bella didn't like the attention, she didn't need the attention. She had enough on her plate as it was.
She was moving across the states at a quick pace hoping for an escape, but Bella knew. She knew the wretched Vampire would find her.
Ever since those Cullen's thrust her into this world, her life has been nothing but trouble. She left Forks 3 weeks ago once she was sure her father would be safe in the hands of the wolves. Jacob, the ever loving boy tried so hard to get her to stay..to be with him..but they both knew they belonged as friends and she belonged far away to save those she loved.
Hiding and running, Bella didn't know if she'd ever be safe. Being in California, Bella wasn't all too happy. But it was sunny enough for her. Bella didn't know if the Cullen's would still be here according to her letter from Alice 4 years ago. Bella doubted it and for that she was happy.
She never wanted to see their faces again. They caused death upon her doorstep. Bella did believe that all vampires weren't like The Cullen's. They tried too hard to be human and lost their feelings to a humanity they didn't have. Vampires are territorial creatures and Bella knew that if they really cared enough their instincts would scream family. Bella gained another among the pack and they viewed her as a pack sister full hearted. But Bella's decision outweighed theirs and they understood.
Going to L.A. seemed the best bet in all their minds and that's where Bella decided to make her mark. She didn't want anything large or outstanding. She never went to places much hoping nobody would see her face. But tonight was different. Two years ago today Renee and Phil Dawer were murdered, along with her step brother of 2 years. He was drained dry.
Bella would never forget the hatred that grew for The Cullen's. Her heart hardened and turned to stone for the family that left her alone and to face the devil on her own, causing her pack brothers and sister to phase. She will never forget the heartbreak or how Edward stepped on her heart.
Bella sighed paying for her tab and hopped off the bar stool. For a Sunday the club was half empty. She grabbed her purse and headed for the door. The light warm air hit her gently as she opened the door making her way out to the dark street. Bella felt for her pepper spray and knife, her nerves calming slightly. Her footsteps echoed as she walked the few blocks home. Bella hesitated going past the alley that she always had to cross getting home. It was so dark and creepy. Bella sucked in a breath as she crossed, her heart hammering in her chest. The wind was knocked out of her as her back hit the brick wall. Fear seized her heart as she thought the worst. The red hair, the red sparkling eyes..the snarl that would surely be on her face.
A tongue licked up Bella's neck that made her shudder. She wasn't sure if she was dealing with Victoria or a sick rapist. Her eyes which she didn't realize were shut snapped open to see glowing yellow eyes. A face morphed into something sinister, teeth glistening. His hands were freezing cold. She let out a scream and lifted her knee hitting him in the jewls. The man groaned and Bella ran as fast as her feet would carry her. She blindly ran for her apartment, screaming. Before she could reach her door the man seemed to drop out of thin air landing in front of her snarling.
Bella backed up, her eyes wide. "Please, I don't know what you want." The man said nothing as he stalked forward, teeth glistening. Bella backed up into a wall..that apparently spoke. "Still stalking young girls?" Bella looked up to see a man with dark drown hair, almost black with a pretty smirk on his face.
"Angel. Still trying to save the world?" Bella was gently pushed aside as the man known as Angel walked forward. She noticed how she was pushed more towards her door. Bella watches with fascinated horror as the two start fighting. Bella knew that what she was seeing was a vampire..one relatively different than the Cold Ones. A vampire fighting a human. At least that's what he appeared to be. He moved with grace and time. He flowed with the movements. He was dangerously beautiful. And terrifying. His face too changed into that same terrifying morph that had Bella gasping and scurrying backwards. But as much as she tried, she couldn't look away. Angel looked at her sharply and Bella wasn't sure if he was going to try to eat her too. "Go home!" He growled struggling with the other vampire before him. Bella still sat there frozen. "Now!" He snarled towards her making her jump and Bella scurried inside her apartment, locking the triple locks on her door. The fighting faded with a shriek.
Bella shakily looked out the peep hole to see Angel making his way towards her door. Her heart stuttered in her chest pumping with fear.
Did he get her inside to kill her alone? What did he want? His face was back to normal. "Are you okay?" He asked from the outside. Bella didn't say anything. "Hey..I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to make sure you're okay." He sounded genuine enough and without undoing the locks Bella opens the door slightly gazing upon him. "I-I'm fine. Thank you." Angel nodded gazing in her eyes hoping she was telling the truth. He smelled no blood just her fear. "Be safe out here okay?" He asked hoping that the woman would heed his warning. Bella nodded and closes the door. Once he was gone, she slid down the door breathing hard. She hoped to never see him again. She didn't need more supernatural in her life. Fate had other plans for Bella Swan in the bustling city of L.A.
